Ikki yawned loudly as he stepped into the kitchen, already dressed up for the day, but still felt quite asleep. He had trouble sleeping in the last week or so, he was so excited by the prospect of the World Championship coming up. He greeted everbody by a sleepy 'good morning'. He looked at who was present, his mom was making him breakfeast, his dad reading the newspaper and Metabee was reading... the Meda-News?
"What are you reading Metabee?" Asked Ikki, curious.
"It's a new newspaper made by and for Medabots! Ain't that cool? I subscribed to it with my allowance." Answered Metabee, flipping the pages.
"Aww man... you got more money than me." Groaned Ikki as he headed for the window.
"He's still there." Pointed out Metabee before Ikki could reach his goal.
But when he did he surel saw Rintaro acompagnied by Kantaroth waiting outside the yard.
"I tought that nice kid gave up being your apprentice...why is he still there?"Asked Jozo, barely raising his head from his newspaper.
Ikki sweatdropped and sighed"He did...he just wants to hand with us...because he think we're cool....and because we know the other best Medafighters in Japan."
"I think it's better...it's cool to have fans! Remind me to sign him an autograph!" Chuckled Metabee.
"This is not funny! When does he arrive anyway?" Replied the boy.
"He finished his breakfeast before Metabee got up. He really likes my pancakes." Answered Chidori, smiling.
"MOM! Why do you feed him? He's like a wild animal! He'll just keep coming back! He sure doesn't need any more sugar, he's hyper enough naturally!" Complained Ikki, very dissapointed at his mom.
"At least she didn't gave him any coffee." Pointed out the Medabot.
Salty seamed to bark in agreement.
----------
"DUDE! What took you so long?" Asked Rintaro, jumping up and down as Ikki and Metabee finally came out of the yard.
"Geez calm down, I'm even early to school! Just stop following me!" Complained the other boy.
"Oh you got the Meda-News too. " Commented Kantaroth with his slow voice, pointing to the rolled up newspaper under the other KBT's arm.
"Yeah! I'm gonna show it to the guys at school... I'm thinking of submitting them a series of article on how to tame your Medafighter!" Answered Metabee, pointing to Ikki non-chalantly with his thumb.
"HEY! What's that supposed to mean?" Shouted the Medafighter angrily.
"Yeah that would be interesting." Added Kantaroth, ignoring the fuming boy.
"Grah! Everybody's against me." Complained Ikki, before he noticed something. "Hey... Kantaroth, what's with your left arm it looks...golden?!"
"DUDE!Ain't it cool dude? I painted it Golden just like Metabee's Golden Medapart! It totally rocks dude!" Answered Rintaro.
"Dude, I rock!" chuckled Kantaroth.
"Hey that's my line! Nobody steal Metabee's line! Get your own!"
"Allright enough of this...I don't want to be late to school com'on Metabee!" Ordered Ikki, heading off to school, finding Rintaro right behind him. "I don't get why you still follow me to school everyday, you don't even study there!"
"You're school just 30 minutes from mine dude! Your school just too cool DUDE!"
Ikki sighed, it was going to be a very LONG walk...way too long. Ikki suddenly had an idea. He chuckled at the cleverness of his plan and when the other boy wasn't looking he whispered his plan into his Medawatch so only Metabee could hear it. They had to act fast, to meet up with Erika and Brass two streets away.
"LOOK OVER THERE! It's KOJI AND SUMILODON!" Shouted Ikki, pointing the opposite way they were heading to.
Rintaro and Kantaroth turned around quickly. "WHERE? DUDE WHERE? DUDE!!" the boy called looking around the empty street.
"Hey! There's nobody there dude!" He complained, turning back, only to find his heroes...gone! "HEY WAIT UP DUDE!" He called, dashing down the street toward the school.
"Hehehehehe...suckers!" Chuckled Metabee, as he and Ikki appeared out of thin air just after the boy and his Medabot turned a random corner.
Metabee's arm had been changed, it was all green with pinkish spot on it. It was Multikolor's invisiarm and it had allowed Metabee, and Ikki clinging to him, to become invisible.
"Nice move Ikki." Congratulated the Medabot as the boy returned his correct arm.
"Now let's go! Erika's gonna be mad if we're late!" Added the Medafighter, dashing off.
----------
"Oh, here they are Erika." Said Brass, pointing to Metabee and Ikki who were running toward the girl and her.
"Congratulation Ikki, you're right on time... I tought you'd be late...as usual." Commented Erika with a little smile of contempt as the boy stopped in front of her, panting.
"Geez get off my back Erika, I had enough trouble with that pesky Rintaro I don't need more." Complained Ikki, regaining his breath after their short run.
Metabee held out his finding proudly."Hey Brass, check this out!"
"Hmm...that's interesting... will you let me read it while the kids are at school?" The other Medabot asked.
"Sure thing!" Agree the KBT.
"Ooh...can I check too?" Inquired Erika, only she didn't wait until Metabee answered to grab hi issue of Meda-News out of his hands and check it out. " Wow...I didn't know Medabots had their own newspaper!"
Metabee took the chance to brag, as usual"Yeah they got an article on the best Medaparts in town every issue, in the first one they talked about MY Golden Medapart! And I want to submit them a series of article on how to tame your Medafighter!"
"METABEE!" Shouted Ikki, getting tired of this newspaper joke.
"That is so cool! Brass! Maybe you could try to become a journalist for them! then we could cover story together! We'd be the best journalist team! And since we'll target diferent readers we won't be competing!" Proposed Erika, exitedly.
Brass scratched her helmet"Hmm...I'm not sure Erika..."
"Com'on it'll be fun! I'll teach you EVERYTHING I know, you'll surely get the job, look here, they say they're recruiting! Oh! I got an idea!" Replied the girl, and remove Brass's helmet before she could say a thing, letting her hair fall down more freely.
(AN: For those who forgot I gave Brass an Hair Upgrade in my previous fic. )
Erika then fumble around in her school bag and pulled out a grey soft duffel hat with a little 'PRESS' paper sticking out of the side. She set it down on Brass's strawberry hair, it was almost covering her eyes since she didn't have any ears to hold it up, then Erika handed Brass a little notebook and a pen and finally put a small Digital camera around her Medabot's neck like a necklace.
Erika stood back to admire her handywork. "Gentleman! I give you Brass Sailor-Multi, MedaReporter extraordinaire!"
The Medabot felt a bit overwhelmed and was still unsure about this whole thing. "How do I look?" She asked.
Metabee blushed, happy that Brass was looking for her aproval. "Well...well you look...great! If you think it would be fun you should go ahead! I'm sure you'd make a great reporter, after all your Medafighter IS Erika!"
"Yeah not bad." Agreed Ikki.
"Allright, enough flatery. Let's get to school before we are late..." Declared Erika, leading the way as she started to explained the basic of journalism to Brass, altough her Medabot already know a lot from watching her.
While Erika wasn't watching Ikki leaned to Metabee's ear to say something without being heard "Altough I'm not sure another Erika is a great idea...especially not with laser canons!" He whispered.
"I hear ya...but I like a girl with a litle spice." Commented Metabee, whispering as well as he watched Brass walking right before him.
Ikki shrugged it off and hoped he wouldn't have to run laps for Coach Mountain.

Kasumi breathed deeply behind her mask, then brought her hands together around the hilt of her bladeless sword. In an instand she summoned her Shadow Sword. Next to her Spitirus did the same. They both started to concentrate on the blade, trying to increase it's power with their own will. The two Shadow Swords Masters were practicing at the Bamboo Forest Temple as usual. Syren and Spiritus were sitting by the side.
"So why are their practicing so much?" Asked Syren, slightly bored.
"Oh...well you see it's a manner Kasumi doesn't like to discuss often... you should ask her yourself. I'm not supposed to tell much but it has something to do with events before you joined us." Answered Spiritus.
Syren nodded playing with her short sword as they kept watching the two modern-time Samurai practice their sword movements. Sudenly, Kasumi and Spiritus froze in place before turning around a whole 180 degrees incredibly fast. There was the sound of Metal hitting the Shadow Sword as something impacted with X's blade! It then felt to the ground. It was a four point shuriken, about the size of a fist. The woman and her Medabots looked around but whoever shot that was gone. Syren and Spiritus head into the bamboos, hoping to find clues, while Kasumi and Spiritus stayed behind. The masked woman kneeled down and grabbed the shuriken with her gloved hand. There was a few kanjis written on it saying:
"I will get you X."
"It's him."Commented Space Medafighter X. "He's back."
